Corporate paella catering in Alkham
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How our corporate paella catering works in Alkham
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. For charity and fundraising events and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, paella lunches and bowl food for your guests.
Team away days in the countryside around Alkham suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
The process
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. December events in Alkham are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Alkham questions
Is Alkham too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Sladden Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Do you come to Alkham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Alkham. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you cater a winter event?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
